Napoleone e l’onda: il movimento e l’equilibrio ne La coscienza di Zeno di Italo Svevo

Movement and equilibrium represent, in their most complex declinations, elements of certain interest and clear impact on the characterization of Zeno Cosini, the protagonist of Italo Svevo's third novel which marks the revenge of the "unfit man" and which allows to find in criteria of this kind effective tools for an analysis of its complex (and certainly dynamic) relationship with the surrounding environment, in the context of the social and urban reality of the first decades of the twentieth century.
